LEASEPLAN has promoted UK managing director Kevin McNally to regional senior vice-president.

In his new role as one of the company’s four regional senior VPs, McNally will have overall responsibility for LeasePlan’s operations in a number of countries including the UK.

McNally has been with the company for nearly four years and before that was fleet sales director at Nissan UK.

He said: ‘The UK company car and van market is a mature and sophisticated one but this is not always the case in other countries. As well as companies that run car and van fleets in the UK, we work with major multi-nationals that often operate thousands of vehicles across several countries.’

He takes up his new role at the end of this year. In the meantime, LeasePlan is looking for a new UK managing director.
